Clement: “Building on a series of 12 by 12”
- Philippe Clement (Club Brugge coach): “I’m very happy because this is a very difficult move. Lofven started with a lot of enthusiasm, but we can hurt them the way we wanted to do. We scored some great goals and created a lot of chances. We were a little lucky with a 0-1 draw, but that wasn’t our season in That area after. If you look at the expected goals with and against, we are the worst in the class. In terms of luck, it might happen occasionally. If you see how many chances we made in the second half, that’s a well deserved win. Right now we have a 12 on 12 streak and we want Building on that. The match against Anderlecht will be one moment in the marathon this season, so you won’t decide everything.”
- Mark Press (Coach Oh Lovin): “We started the match perfectly and were able to continue it. We collected a lot of chances, but the lack of efficiency really broke our hearts. There was some fatigue after 0-1, tasks were neglected. Then came the situation with Martens, penalty kick or not. In the substitution. De Ketelaere scored a great goal, which of course was a big blow. Then the match ended, even if we left it 0-3 and 0-4 easily. We definitely need to get the points, but we shouldn’t play tense football and stay calm. We are in some matches Difficult, but we are definitely not dead yet when you watch this match.”
